Blockchain technology has moved past the hype – and hysteria – of cryptocurrencies and become a technology adopted by industry and governments as a solution for securing and streamlining processes across a variety of sectors. China has been a developer and rapid adopter of blockchain, particularly in areas such as finance, medicine, energy, and supply chains. The government’s support of blockchain firms and applications have boosted the use of the tech across the country, improving security, transaction speed for customers, and advancing China’s competitiveness within the global market. https://www.stimson.org/wp-content/plugins/wp-views/embedded/res/img/ajax-loader.gif","callback_next":"","manage_history":"enabled","has_controls_in_form":"disabled","infinite_tolerance":"0","max_pages":0,"page":1,"base_permalink":"/2021/blockchain-in-china/?wpv_view_count=67185-TCPID44170&wpv_paged=WPV_PAGE_NUM","loop":{"type":"","name":"","data":[],"id":0}}" data-permalink="/2021/blockchain-in-china/?wpv_view_count=67185-TCPID44170" style="box-sizing:border-box"> Executive Summary Emerging technologies such as blockchain, a subset…

Both Washington and Beijing treat rising debt as a consequence of irresponsible behavior by local institutions. But in China and the United States, rising debt is spurred by policies that have encouraged distortions in the distribution of domestic income. Until these distortions are addressed, both countries must choose between rising debt and rising unemployment. The urgent debate earlier this year about the establishment of a binding debt ceiling for the U.S. government implicitly (and sometimes quite explicitly) assumed that rising debt is a measure of Washington’s profligacy, and that if only policymakers were a little more frugal or a little…
